No. 22 Milton returns seven of the top eight contributors from last year's AAAAAAA state semifinal team and begins the 2020-21 campaign as the top-rated squad from the Peach State.
First-team MaxPreps Sophomore All-American Bruce Thornton and third-team MaxPreps Freshman All-American Kanaan Carlyle guide a talented
backcourt that includes Devin Farrell and West Forsyth transfer Broc Bidwell,
who has produced over 1,000 career points.
A
deep frontcourt features Maurice Clipper and
Lebbeus Overton along with four-star Meadowcreek transfer Kendall Campbell
and 6-foot-7 senior forward Fisher Finley, who returns after injuries derailed his junior season.

(Atlanta) are among the teams with a chance to challenge the Eagles (26-5) in a deep and
unpredictable Georgia hardwood landscape.
